Honesty/dishonesty: If they’ve never been off of carbs/sugar for 3+ months, then they just don’t know the feeling, and most Westerners eat to create feelings, not because they are hungry. So, they’re not being dishonest. I mean, people honestly think potato chips are food, not a form of dessert. That’s one thing that being off of carbs/sugar shows you — that you’re usually trying to re-ignite a glucose spike rather than actually being hungry, and most garbage food does that, and rarely nourishes.

The rewiring of my brain when looking at food is amazing. People don’t know what they are missing out on.
